Laravel Storage::disk()->url(); does not work properly - php

Question

Hello i have a trouble in laravel.
i wanna create private storage for some stuff (xls,image,pdf, etc).
Everything works great in storage/app/public directories but i dont want it, i want my directory like storage/app/products/{id}/
at first look at my code:
filesystem.php
'disks' => [
'local' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app'),
],
'public' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app/public'),
'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage',
'visibility' => 'public',
],
'productions' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app/productions'),
'visibility' => 'private',
],
i create new array 'productions'
ProductionController.php
public function file()
{
return '<img src="'.Storage::disk('productions')->url('7/2.png').'">';
}
web.php (Route)
Route::group([
'middleware'=>'roles',
'roles'=>['Administrator','Prefabrykacja','Dyrektor Prefabrykacji']
], function () {
Route::get('/Produkcja',[
'uses'=>'ProductionController#index',
'as'=>'production.index']);
Route::post('/Produkcja/create',[
'uses'=>'ProductionController#create',
'as'=>'production.create']);
Route::get('/Produkcja/file',[
'uses'=>'ProductionController#file',
'as'=>'production.file']);
});
if i return
return '<img src="'.Storage::disk('productions')->url('7/2.png').'">';
Or
return '<img src="'.Storage::disk('local')->url('7/2.png').'">';
result is the same. both line return the image from storage/app/public/7/2.png will display not image storage/app/products/7/2.png
how can i display the image from my products folder and restrict resources to specifed role?

First of all, you're probably missing a symlink like this one for public (Local URL Host Customization). Also, you need to specify url parameter like for public and change visibility to public in order to allow others to see your files.
filesystem.php:
'disks' => [
'local' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app'),
],
'public' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app/public'),
'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage',
'visibility' => 'public',
],
'productions' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app/productions'),
'url' => env('APP_URL') . '/productions', // added line (directory within "public")
'visibility' => 'public', // modified visibility
],
],
Also make sure that you create a symlink at public/productions which will point to storage/app/productions directory. You can do this by using following command (for example):
cd LARAVEL_PATH && ln -s storage/app/productions public/productions
